Here ya go chapter two but before it starts I'd like to thank anyone who has taken the time to read and/or review
"Ash wake up I've got a surprise for you!" Ash's mother yelled up the stairs to him as she had waited for him to wake up for long enough.
"what is it mom?" the young trainer asked from his room while getting out of bed.
"Come down stairs and find out" his mother responded.
"looks like we got no choice buddy" he said looking at his tired pokemon.
"pika" the mouse agreed with his trainer. When Ash walked down the stairs he couldn't believe what he saw, in front of him stood almost all of his past traviling companions and friends among them were Misty, Brock, Gary, Dawn, Professor Oak, Tracey, Scott, and of course May. For some reason the last of them stuck out more then the others but he quickly put it aside as he remembered where he was.
"Whats are all you guys doing here?" Ash said looking at them still stunned until a certain brunette knocked him off of his feet with a giant hug that he was not prepared for.
"It's your birthday silly!" she joked while she was still on top of him.
"Oh yeah, I forgot i never make a big deal out of it so..."
"Well to bad it's your 16th birthday we are going to make a big deal out of it got it?" she asked him but he knew she wasn't asking him anything she was telling him.
"Okay okay I got it." Ash quickly responded not wanting to argue
"Okay then let's go" she said getting off of him while offering him her hand to help him up.
"Wait what? Go where?" The trainer asked.
"We have your party set up at the lab so all of your pokemon can be there as well" The old professor explained where the group was headed.
"Okay, sounds good" The trainer said.
"Whats the matter Ash?" a certain brunette coordinator asked when she finally found where he was hiding and she had to give it to him it was a nice spot surrounded by trees by a small lake at the edge of a cliff the scenery was absolutely beautiful.
"Nothing" The trainer responded "just needed to get away from all of the commotion ya know?"
"yeah I guess I see what your saying just get away from all the noise and have some peace while you enjoy the wonderful view of the sunset" The female said.
"It really is beautiful isn't it?" Ash asked.
"Y-yeah it is"The coordinator said stunned that something like that came from the trainers lips "Ash are you sure everything is alright you seem kind of ... different from usual."
"No, nothings wrong really" The trainer replied.
"Yes somethings wrong you idiot why don't you just tell her that your confused about how you feel she'd understand and help you through it you know she would"
"Okay then I'll be by the ranch with everyone else you should come join the party!"And with that May got up and left the lake and walked back to everyone else
"somethings really weird with Ash not necessarily in a bad way but hes defiantly not being himself"The coordinator thought to herself while walking back.
"Where is he May?" Asked a concerned Professor Oak.
"Hes out by a small lake in the ranch watching the sunset" May stated.
"Why is he out there?" Brock asked.
"He said he just wanted to get away from all of the commotion" May answered the brother-like figure's question.
"Oh well there's nothing we can do if he wants to relax, let's party!" Gary yelled and at that moment Tracey started the music back up and everyone started dancing.
"You think we should go see them yet?" The young trainer asked his partner.
"Pika pi!" The mouse replied.
"Yeah it has been a while hasn't it?" The trainer asked the rhetorical question and got up.
As Ash was on his way back to the party he could here the music blaring and started running so he could make it back in time to join in on the fun and when he saw everyone he slowed down a bit coming down the hill toward everyone he heard the fast paced music slow down as it was replaced by a slow song, Ash was surprised when he saw Tracey hold his hand out to misty and she took it and those two started dancing, then he saw that Professor Oak and his mother were dancing! Ash then looked over at the 'ladies man' Brock and saw him dancing with dawn in a father daughter like way, and then he saw may and Scott, not dancing at all but awkwardly standing off to the side. When Ash got to the bottom of the hill may ran over as soon as she saw him and embraced him in a giant hug like the one earlier but this one was different he didn't know how it just seemed different.
"Ash wanna dance?" May asked seeming somewhat scared of the answer.
"Y-y-yeah sure May I'd love to"Ash responded after a moment.
"It's a simple question why are you making such a big deal out of it?" The trainer asked himself in his head. The song ended in about a minute but the minute felt like mere seconds to Ash and he didn't understand why.
"Hey Ash wanna go for a walk before we have to go?" May whispered to him as they were still extremely close from the dance.
"Sure" was all the boy could say.
Ash and may slipped away from the rest of the group as they started there walk around the ranch.
"Hey May where do you think your heading next?" The raven haired trainer asked breaking the awkward silence.
"Well honestly I don't know I was thinking about Sinnoh since I've been to the other regions around here, why?"The brunette explained also asking a question of her own.
"I was just wondering because well because Scott invited me to the new Battle Frontier in Sinnoh"The boy said waiting for her to respond.
"Oh Ash that's great we can travel together again it'll be just like old times!" May exclaimed jumping into his arms again for an even bigger hug that the other two combined "Oh I can't wait!" May yelled holding him tighter.
